No seriously, what do they do on this site?

Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Well, I want to thank everybody who congrated me. I promise to give a lot of dedication to this job (I didn't beg that much for it!) and do my best to help this site get better

OK, enough cheesiness, now, everybody, start submitting!! It's no good if no one submits anything

Oh, and for the one who asked, a DB Admin is basically one who oversees the database. He checks user submissions on the games, deletes duplicated games, deletes bad boxarts, etc.

Congrats zexen.

Currently, db admins make sure the rules are followed when people make submissions. They should be striving to make sure entries are consistent and correct. Not only that, they get to put their own submissions through which makes them more efficient in the database.

Soon, we will be adding a bunch of new features to the DB, and this move was done as a precautionary step to make sure the DB admins are not overloaded by new content. There will be 1 new DB admin soon too, but until I finalize it I am not saying anything, but he knows who he is
